Historic Downtown Astoria

Discover this diamond in the rough on the north Oregon coast! Historic Downtown Astoria will surprise you with its marriage of metropolitan dining, lodging and entertainment, and the raw grace of a town that has survived at the edge of the continent for more than 200 years.

13th Street Alley

Help us enliven the 13th Street Alley!

It is our goal to connect our bustling Commercial Street to the Duane Street corridor using this unique asset as an opportunity. An improved lighting scheme will create a safe welcoming environment for pedestrians, drawing people into this bustling new area of downtown.

ADHDA will use monies raised at our annual Jane Barnes Revue fundraiser and your online donations as a ‘match’ for several grant opportunities. Once we have acquired a budget for the project, we will send out requests for qualifications and proposals. A diverse panel will select the final design for implementation.

THE TOURIST No. 2 is home!

Last year Astorians were given the opportunity to purchase the only remaining ferry that traversed the Columbia River, and this is exactly what we are going to do with your help. The Tourist No. 2 has been through much in her 90+ years. She has changed and matured, seen other places and had some hard times. The best part is that she is still a viable old gal and is ready to come home to Astoria.

Help us bring her home and put her back to work, providing excursions for residents, visitors, and cruise ship passengers in the summer, and operating throughout the year for special events on board, including cruises as weather permits. For more information contact, ASTORIAFERRY@gmail.com
